CANDY-WRAPPER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 3, 1920.

Application filed October 23, 1919. Serial No. 332,664.

larly to a wrapper for that kind of candy known to the trade as lolly pops, in which instance the wrapper in its preferred form gals1 the characteristic qualities of a paper As heretofore practised, lolly pops and like candy have been offered to the trade wrapped in a plain sheet of parafiined paper with the wrapper only inclosing the candy part of the lolly pop. This wrapper is only employed as a protection for the candy and has no utility other than that, and the same is likewise discarded when the candy is to be consumed.

The object of the present invention is to provide a wrapper which will not only act as a protection for the candy but at the same time so construct the same as to offer unusual inducement to the purchaser of the candy in that aside from purchasing the candy they are in reality purchasing a paper doll which may be used as a source of amusement when inclosing the candy,

' and even after the candy has been removed the wrapper will still maintain its doll characteristics.

The accompanying drawing illustrates one form of the invention, but it is 'of course to be understood that the ornamental design on the wrap er as well as the pictorial illustration may e varied without departing from the spirit of the invention.

11 said drawing, Figure 1 is a view of the wrapper before it has been folded around the lolly p0 Fig. 2 is a View of a lolly pop, and Fig. 3 is a front view of the wrapper as applied around a lolly pop.

ferring to the rawmg in detail the wrapper preferably comprises a relatively long sheet of paraflined or waxed paper 5, having printed thereon some ornamental design of any desirable color, with a pictorial illustration such for instance as the head of a child arranged about in the middle thereof. According to the showing-on the drawing the pictorial illustration is provided with a collar effect on which may be printed the flavor of the lolly pop covered by the wrapper. The lolly pop is illustrated as comprising a piece of candy 6 having the usual stick or handle 7. The wrapper is adapted to be folded around the lollypop with the candy part (3 thereof providing a form for the pictorial illustration, and with the remainder of the sheet arranged to provide a skirted body portion for the pictorial illustration with the edge of the skirt terminating preferably above the end of the stick or handle 7.

The wrapper is in no way fastened around the lolly pop thus the lolly pop can be removed from the wrapper by withdrawing the same from the end of the skirted body portion by the stick, thus leaving the wrapper intact and capable of being used for the purpose specified.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is as follows:

1. A candy wrapper comprising a sheet of material having a pictorial illustration about in the middle thereof; said wrapper adapted to be folded around a candy form to produce an article having some of the cha cteristic qualities of a doll, the said can y form providing a filler for the pictorial illustration and the remainder of the sheet arranged to provide a skirted body portion for the said pictorial illustration.

2. A candy wrapper comprising a sheet of material having a pictorial illustration of a head arranged approximately in the center thereof, said wrapper adapted to be folded about a form to produce an article having some of the characteristic qualities of the head, the said form providing a filler for the pictorial illustration, and the remainder of the sheet arranged to provide a skirted body portion for the said pictorial illustration.
